Thanks for that Kent, especially the size info, helped me provision. And for building it!

I'm fairly savvy with most of the deps but not lisp. However I look at that as an adventure :)

Is there a source repo someplace where I can play with what there is so far? Seems from the mailing list like the current 0.3 version will be hassles to get going on Ubuntu 12.10 beyond just setting up a mediwiki deployment and installing a few debs as it seems on squeeze. So may as well contribute back as I research how to wedge things into there.

Best,
Jason

Dear Jason,
     In regards to WP-MIRROR, version 0.4 is currently in development
and, when ready, will install the 'simple' wiki by default.  A key
design objective of v0.4 is to completely automate the configuration
of its dependencies (MySQL, MediaWiki, cURL, etc).  The idea is that
it should 'just work'.
     If you are pressed for time, you can try using version 0.3. But,
as other users have remarked, it requires a fair bit of configuration
of dependencies.  Please see the discussion on
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/wp-mirror-list/>.
     In regards to disk space, I have a laptop that mirrors the
'simple' wiki.  Images and data currently occupy a bit under 50G.  Of
course this will grow over time as contributors add to the 'simple'
wiki.

Sincerely Yours,
Kent

Hi!

I would like to build a ZIM file of the Simple English Wikipedia including
the full resolution images for educational use in a region without reliable

Internet access.

So far as I can tell, I would need to:

...alternatively:

Good plan? Better plan? Is there a flag on any of this to limit things to
redistributable images so I can add a torrent for the resulting (est.
50-60Gb) file to the kiwix site?
